Once upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back. 
Treat Meals
Over the last four years of my recovery, I have slowly warmed up to the idea of treat meals.
Now, years later, I have come to realize how important it is to enjoy a food that you love every so often.
This is me with my favourite chocolate/raspberry gelato. Yes I train hard, eat clean and enjoy a treat every now and again. A clean, healthy lifestyle includes all of these elements to be sustainable. Try to shoot for a planned treat meal once a week to round out your diet and have a little something extra to sweeten the deal for all of your hard work and dedication!
